Internet of Things Trends to Watch in 2014

1. From Hype to Reality: In 2014 IoT will become
real with the ubiquity of connectivity and proliferation
of devices, and wearable computing. Automakers
lead the way by embedding smart systems in cars.

in 2014 and beyond James Kobielus
2. Wireless Sensors and Devices: They are

getting smaller, smarter, and cheaper.and there
are billions of them.producing billions of data
points.
3. Machine to Machine (M2M): Sensors and

devices talking to each other and data centers via
wireless communications.
Where is the Internet of Things heading in

2014? CIO.com
4. IOT Apps: New apps required to integrate sensor

based data into business applications

Internet of Things Trends to Watch in 2014 (cont.)

6. Big Data to get Bigger: These things
(sensors, chips, computers) will produce even
more data than we have now, taxing our already
complex enterprise Information Management
systems.

The Internet of Things An IBM Video
11. Education Needed: Increased demand for
education and skills training related to Sensor
Networks, how to implement them and what to do
with the data collected.
12. Product Design: Consumers and Customers will

increasingly expect products to come with embedded
sensors.
13. Wearables: In 2014, the consumer buzz will be
around wearable devices, including glasses, watches,
and health/fitness monitors. Enterprises will
integrated wearables into future strategies
14. Security & Privacy: These two issues are big
components of any IoT strategy and must be
considered for the devices, the connections, and the
cloud.
Internet-of-Things (IoT)
provides the foundational
infrastructure for a smarter
planet, and offers significant
growth opportunities in IT,
infrastructures and services

15. IPv6 Required: Transition from IPv4 will continue in

2014. IoT will not fully become a reality until the
things have full access to IPv6.

Billions of devices, sensors, and chips that are able to communicate

via the Internet makes up The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable
objects (things) and their virtual representations in an
Internet-like structure. Wikipedia (link)
The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects
that contain embedded technology to communicate and
sense or interact with their internal states or the external
environment. Gartner (link)
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a new construct in the information and
communications technology (ICT) world that is occupying the minds of IT vendors, service
providers, and systems integrators as it represents huge potential for new streams of
revenue and new customers. IDC (link)
The Internet of Things represents an evolution in which objects are capable of interacting
with other objects. Hospitals can monitor and regulate pacemakers long distance, factories
can automatically address production line issues and hotels can adjust temperature and
lighting according to a guest's preferences, to name just a few examples. IBM (link)

Forecasts call for billions and billions of connected devices

In 2020, Over 30 Billion Connected
Devices Will Be In Use. Gartner (link)
Business Insider Intelligence: Global Internet

Device Installed Base Forecast
Driven by reducing price per

connection and the consequent rapid
growth in the number of machine-tomachine (M2M) connections, we
expect the number of connected
objects to reach 50bn by 2020 (2.7% of
things in the world). Cisco (link)
There will be 212 B devices or things
connected to networks by 2020 - IDC
(link)
There are more than 10 billion wirelessly

connected devices in the market today; with
over 30 billion devices expected by 2020..
ABI Research (link)

Jan 2014
From vehicles and smart phones to

containers and machines by 2015
more than six billion things will be
connected to the internet. Bosch (link)
The economic value of the IoT economy is expected to be large.

Service Revenues for the IoT will reach $500 Billion
by 2018, dwarfing the $33 Billion in revenue expected
from devices in 2018 - Harbor Research (link)
IoT product and service suppliers will generate
incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion, mostly in
services, in 2020. Gartner (link)
Bloomberg Article: Cisco CEO Pegs

Internet of Things as $19 Trillion Market
ZDNet Article: Internet of things: $8.9 trillion

market in 2020, 212 billion connected things
Sized applications of the Internet of Things could

have direct economic impact of $2.7 trillion to $6.2
trillion per year in 2025. McKinsey (link)
IoT technology and services spending to generate global revenues of $4.8 trillion in 2012
and $8.9 trillion by 2020, growing at a compound annual rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. IDC (link)
Economic value-add (which represents the aggregate benefits that businesses derive
through the sale and usage of IoT technology) is forecast to be $1.9 trillion across sectors in
2020. The verticals that are leading its adoption are manufacturing (15 percent), healthcare
(15 percent) and insurance (11 percent).. Gartner (link)

The Internet of Things will require new approaches for CIOs and new
skills for IT professionals
The converging Nexus of Forces and the Internet of
Things are creating the digital industrial economy. In 2014,
CIOs must embrace and help lead this transformation.
Doing so will require novel approaches and radical new
thinking combined with unwavering attention to
operational performance. Gartner (link)
As it becomes easier and easier to design and develop
smart systems, competitive differentiation will shift away
from unique, vertically focused product features towards
how the product is actually used and how the product
fosters interactions between and among users in a
networked context. Harbor Research (link)
The Executive's Guide to the

Internet of Things
ZDNet e-book (registration required)
While CIOs recognize the importance of the right staff to enterprise success, they are
finding it increasingly difficult to find skilled talent in the locations they require, for a price
they can afford. - IDC (link)
Survey found that 51 percent of CIOs are concerned that the digital torrent is coming
faster than they can cope and 42 percent don't feel that they have the talent needed to
face this future. - IDC (link)

Connected World Workshop , by USA FTC , with Vint Cerf,
Google
The Internet of Things Is Wildly Insecure And Often

Unpatchable, Wired.com
As we become increasingly reliant on intelligent, interconnected devices in every

aspect of our lives, how do we protect potentially billions of them from intrusions and
interference that could compromise personal privacy or threaten public safety? Wind
River (link)

Jan 2014
There are many other related terms around the IoT Trend topic
Machine to Machine (M2M)
Machine to machine (M2M) refers to technologies
that allow both wireless and wired systems to
communicate with other devices of the same ability.
M2M uses a device (such as a sensor or meter) to
capture an event (such as temperature, inventory
level, etc.), which is relayed through a network
(wireless, wired or hybrid) to an application
software program), that translates the captured
event into meaningful information (for example,
items need to be restocked). Wikipedia (link)
The Web of Things

The Web of Things is a vision inspired
from the Internet of Things where
everyday devices and objects, i.e.
objects that contain an embedded
device or computer, are connected by
fully integrating them to the Web.
Examples of smart devices and objects
are wireless sensor networks, ambient
devices, household appliances, RFID
tagged objects, etc. Wikipedia (link)
Sensor
A sensor is a converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be
read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument. Wikipedia (link)
Wireless Sensor Network
A wireless sensor network (WSN) of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or
environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc. and to cooperatively pass their
data through the network to a main location. The more modern networks are bi-directional, also
enabling control of sensor activity. Wikipedia (link)
Ubiquitous Computing
Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which
information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities.

connected to the Internet we can more
precisely understand how our world
actually works. By making Internet of
Things application development
easier, the answers to the grand
challenges of our age becomes more
